Thomas Hinds Tobacconists

Tom’s Place

Be prepared to bargain for that Armani jacket – Tom will be disappointed if you don’t. Men’s and women’s clothing from top designers at discount prices.
Toronto Antique Centre

This market brings over 20 dealers together under one roof – an antiquelover’s dream. Georgian silver, majolica, vintage luggage, militaria, prints and maps, and furniture are just some of the treasures awaiting you.
Toronto Dollars

Trade Canadian money at the South Market booth for Toronto Dollars, an alternative currency accepted by many market merchants. Ten percent of each dollar used is donated to local projects.
Toronto Eaton Centre

Anchored on each end by a major department store – The Bay and Sears – this shopping oasis has something for every taste and bank balance. Books, plasma TVs, gourmet cookware, fashion – the range of goods across hundreds of tores is huge (see Eaton Centre).
West Queen West Art & Design District

As artists move farther west on Queen Street to more affordable quarters between Bathurst Street and Gladstone Avenue, so too do the independent and experimental art galleries and the clothing shops showcasing funky Canadian designers. The abundance of antique and used furniture, trendy kitchenware, and off-beat and vintage clothing shops guarantees interesting finds (see West Queen West).
William Ashley China

Fine crystal, china, and table-ware, exquisite gifts, and expert staff ensure that you won’t leave without some choice purchase wrapped in elegant gold paper.
Yorkville

Clustered in this upscale district, choice boutiques and fine art galleries offer everything the well-heeled and -monied traveler desires. Even the local mall, Hazelton Lanes, harbors luxury shops such as a Rolls Royce dealership and Whole Foods Market, which tempts with mouth-watering but pricey prepared foods to fill the picnic basket (see Hazelton Lanes).
